You probably didn’t even know that 1800 Tequila was doing a series of limited-edition bottles a la Hennessy and Beck’s because, well, when you buy liquor you’re looking to drink something, not start a collection. We’re the same way, but apparently 1800’s Essential Artists bottles is a thing and they’ve already done five, featuring the likes of Shepard Fairey, Gary Baseman and more.

For their sixth, 1800 is honoring Jean-Michel Basquiat with a run of bottles featuring six of his original paintings. You can see them all in the gallery above. Depending what market you’re in, these will be arriving at your local liquor store soon.
